Strawberry Banana Smoothie with Piña Colada
Fresh fruits and hot weather, it is the perfect time for a refreshing smoothie, don't you think so? If you want something light for breakfast or something after workout then it is a perfect choice for you. Strawberry banana smoothie is filling and tastes so good. To make it even tastier, how about topping it up with some Piña Colada smoothie?
I am a proper breakfast person, however, once in awhile it is good to have a change and skip breakfast for something lighter. Though there's one thing that I can't skip and it is my morning coffee, it is the only way I can feel fully awake. When I want something light and quick then smoothie is one of the options. Depending on how hungry I am, I either have only fruits or sometimes add a little oat to make it more filling. Don't underestimate smoothie, they will give you the energy you need!
I love cocktails, but mornings may not be the best time for having them. Luckily some of the cocktails like classic Piña Colada can be turned into a delicious smoothie. All you need to do is remove Bacardi and add something else, maybe extra cup of pineapple juice? Or even a cup of coconut milk, if you want something extra tropical.
Some of the ingredients are optional as it depends on your taste. If the fruits aren't sweet then you might want to add 1 or 2 tablespoon honey or sugar. Also it is safe to say you can change milk with yogurt as well, depending on the consistency you like, it might be best to add a little bit of liquid.
Why don't you come up with your own smoothie? All you need to do is pick your fruits/vegetables, then add yogurt/milk and just blend it, it is that simple. Just make sure to keep some frozen fruits in the freezer, it will help you cool down in summer or after a workout.

This sounds so good, Ela! Are you currently on a smoothie kick? I can't survive with only smoothie or cereal for breakfast, being a Malaysian I need my very heavy breakfast, sometimes instant noodles or a sandwich or maybe a fried rice or noodles. LOL! Shireen | <a href="http://reflectionofsanity.com" rel="nofollow">Reflection of Sanity </a>
I am so used to having big breakfast in Turkey, but when I'm alone for a chance I make something healthy rather than having some heavy breakfast alone :) I have a few pounds to lose so I better be on a smoothie diet for awhile :)
Wow, this look so yummy, am so gonna try it out.. www.tessyonyia.com

It is yummy and surprisingly strawberry&pina colado combo is good! Have a great week x
I can't say I am a fan of smoothies as I can always feel 'bits' but this looks so cute! Love the strawberry on top! <a href="http://www.daniellesbeautyblog1.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Danielle's Beauty Blog</a>
I really dislike having big chunky bits in it, so I make sure to blend it extra to get it all smooth :)
this looks so healthy yet delicious! wish I'm not so lazy to make this! :( <a href="http://vveekend101.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">VVEEKEND 101</a>
Most of the time I am too lazy to make it too :)

It is the same with strawberries, I can't resist it :) x
I don't think I'll ever be able to look at anything Pina Colada related without singing the song in my head haha! This really does look delicious though Ela, and I love the addition of a solitary raspberry on top :) Gabrielle | <a href="http://aglassofice.com" rel="nofollow">A Glass Of Ice </a>x
Ah that song... I was singing it a lot when I was making it ha ha :) x
I think this would be too rich for breakfast for me but I might try it during the day! xx <a href="http://www.beautylymin.com" rel="nofollow">Beautylymin</a>| <a href="http://www.beautylymin.com/2016/07/review-giveaway-abercrombie-fitch-first.html" rel="nofollow">Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct Giveaway</a>
Addition of pina colada makes it quite sweet so yeah it might be better for the lunch x
That sounds so delicious! I just bought the TBS Pina Colada shower gel to have the scent in y life, if having the cocktail all day long isn´t an option. <a href="http://lindalibraloca.com/" rel="nofollow">Linda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and Backpacking</a>
I love that scent, I keep checking that range however I haven't bought anything yet!
I wanted at least one thing from the range, and I do go through shower gels quite rapidly.

Thanks for sharing this recipe!! Morning cocktails might not be the best idea, unless you're on vacation hehe :) www.stylebymemory.com
Pina colada without alcohol is yummy, you should try it :)
Omg! That smoothie looks divine. Beautiful photo! I do my own morning smoothie with frozen mixed fruit, lemon juice and a bit of vegan protein powder. But Pina Colada sounds so goooood. xx Yasmin http://banglesandbungalows.com
I prefer fresh fruity smoothies in summer, they are so refreshing. Pina colada smoothie is yummy, you should give it a try! xx
Mmmmm... every time I come to your blog, there's a new refreshing drink for me to try! I don't think I've never had coconut cream but I can imagine how delicious it would be. I love smoothies in general so this sounds amazing! Sally - <a href="http://www.diagonsally.com" rel="nofollow">DiagonSally</a>
Coconut cream adds really nice taste to it, however if you add a lot then it gets too rich. I love having refreshing drinks in summer :)
Yum this looks and sounds amazing! While I have a stick blender for baby food I've never gotten around to making smoothies with it yet - should give it a go! <a href="http://awayfromtheblue.blogspot.com.au/" rel="nofollow">Away From The Blue Blog</a>
When you make some baby food, you should make something for yourself too :)
Ooooooh, this sounds so delicious Ela! I hadn't thought of doing something like this in a smoothie but really have to try it!

For a minute I thought it was an alcoholic version! Looks lovely and healthy

This sounds amazing! I will definitely try it out! In relation to cocktail inspired drinks, I had mojito inspired tea in Brighton. It was green tea with mint and lime and was especially good as iced tea! I am going to have a go at making a blend of it myself x www.bisoushollyolivia.co.uk
I love mojito inspired non alcoholic drinks, they are so refreshing and perfect for summer. x
This is such a lovely little recipe! :) I enjoy smoothies in the mornings, but I'll admit, sometimes I'm too lazy and just buy ready ones from a supermarket... :S There is nothing like making your own smoothie, though, and banana ones are always a good choice as they are much more filling than other fruits. <3 I'll be sure to try your recipe hun, thanks for sharing! x x Kay http://shoesandglitter.com
I try to make my own especially in summer :) I love banana smoothies as you said they are so filling and also taste yummy :) x
Oooo this sounds so amazingly delicious! I love smoothies and will definitely have to give this one a try! x Emily http://shedoes.com.au
It is so yummy, definitely give it a try! x
Mmm the tropical twist sounds delicious. I keep stuffing the freezer with more chopped up fresh fruit and freezing them for smoothies, I made one the other day with mint, strawberry and mango and it was delicious www.barelytherebeauty.com xx
All the unused veggie/fruit goes to the freezer so I have something to make smoothies instead of getting frozen ones :) x

Banana and strawberries is my favourite combination for a smoothie! Never thought to add coconut and honey, will definitely try it! :) Yiota x Pinkdaisyloves.blogspot.com
It is one of my favourite too :) x
This is such a cool twist on a classic smoothie, although I'm definitely a fan of just your stock standard fresh banana and strawberry smoothie, that's one of my favourite fruit combos. My other favourite smoothie combo is probably just when you blend banana with some honey, milk, yoghurt and ice, it's so good! www.thesundaymode.com
Strawberry&banana smoothie is on of my favourite, I can't resist to strawberries!
two of my favorite word combos! banana and smoothie! Love it! Dora www.BangsBang.com

In summer I tend to skip breakfast and have smoothie instead, it is so refreshing!
Girlie, we must get a breakfast together sometime because I can never skip on it + my morning coffee :D Oh my word, this smoothie though... In love with it! I have so many favourites. Haven't had a banana one in ages! Lovely recipe, sweetie! <3 xox Nadia www.mielandmint.com

I don't like coconut but the smoothie sounds delicious!! www.ohsobecky.com
You can always skip coconut, it still tastes as good!
Oooh I like your idea of making a Pina Colada smoothie, it certainly sounds a lot more exciting that the usual boring offerings! Also you need to teach us how you take your beaaautiful photos! <a href="http://www.musingsandmore.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Musings & More </a>
I love mixing drinks and I am really happy how this mixture turned out, it is yummy! Ah thank you, I am thinking about coming of behind the scene photo posts, let's see how it goes.
I agree fresh fruit and smoothies are beautiful in the Summer - both tasty and refreshing! Even though I don't drink alcohol, I absolutely LOVE the 'mocktail' version of a Piña colada. So your recipe sounds mouthwatering, it's exactly how I'd make it Ela.xx - www.veebzboo.com - www.youtube.com/veebzboo - Soft Beach Waves Hair Tutorial
I'm sure you'd love this version of Pina Colada too, it is alcohol free and tastes as good! x
